Coming...coming...coming.....WHEN???
THE SCHOOL MAGAZINE....I know many of you have not seen or heard a trace about it in ages.And many of you maybe wonndering whether our usually overtly-smart school has done away with it for this year (just like the School Tie!).
No, but yes, it has been delayed beyond deadlines and beyond expectations.And being in a student's shoes my, and I bet your, first reaction would be to comment on the incapacities of the School administration.But for this once, I will not take that course...because this time I was Student editor and member of the NAVIK-Editorial team.We really burned the midnight oil and put our soul, efforts and time into collecting articles, reading and editing all the entries, and even writing many pieces.Right from the alignment of sentences to the look of the cover, from writing the editorial to going to interview the SANKALP Principal....the list is endless. I can assure you that it is not an easy task and you must think twice before frivolously commenting on someone's efforts.
Then why this agonising wait? From what I know, it is the Printer/Publisher who has been delaying the process, bringing in proofs with errors and then our Principal and Chairman keep changing the look and content every second day to suit their tastes.A group of our teachers incluinge Mrs. Girija, Ms. Ruchi actually spent an entire day at the Printer's office, working with the incorrigibly hopeless fellow.
Latest on the release date is that you'll hopefully be greeted by NAVIKA when you get back from your holidays.
Till then, the wait goes on...

I knooo...The wait is soo annoying!!For the record, i happened to speak to Girija Ma'am the other day and also the Chairman about the magazine..silly mistakes like absence of puntuation marks n spelling errors still exist.The principal seems to be angry and holds the editorial board responsible.Helloo...is it out fault if u got some gawar printer n ruined it all!! The magazine is down to only 72 pages which includes the pictures,letters,sanskrit section and the cover! humpphh..!!
Abslolute injustice to every1 who spent so much time and put in so much hardwork to put this 2gether!!
